Sam,
We're going to use best efforts to meet you for a drink this evening but we're unable to get out of our dinner which is a shame.  I'll email you as we get closer to 6:30 and thank you again for the invite.  I hope we'll still get to see you this evening.  
Best,
Devon

Devon,

By all means bring Jim. There will be mainly existing Chinese businesses who are either already invested in NYS or are looking at it. 

The only westerners will mainly be US embassy senior staff (commercial service). 

It'd be great to have all three of you. Certainly invite Jim. 

Just let me know. 

Sam

Sam,
What a miniature world. There's a possibility we may be able to work this out. That said, it will entail us canceling a dinner for a better offer (yours); though its been done before. In a pinch, would we be able to bring our friend, Jim Gordon, who flew us over on his plane for our meetings? Might be just too awkward leaving him to fend for himself. If that's too much, not to worry. Hunter and I will coordinate at breakfast and we'll email you.
Best,
Devon

Hi Devon and Hunter,

Eric tells me you're both in Beijing today. Well, so am I.

I'm here to sign an MOU, lock some investment coming to NYS and have some meetings.

It would be great to see you both.

You free for a drink and/or dinner?

I'm hosting a Friends of New York State dinner tonight at 6:30pm the Beijing Vantone Center -- would you both like to come as my guests? 

Let me know.

I'm at the Beijing Hong Kong Jockey Club, Room 326.  Or just email me.

Beautiful weather yesterday, wasn't it? 

Best,

Sam
